Catalytic cracking of naphtha consumes large amount of energy due to the high temperature operation and therefore the reduction of energy consumption is required. We consider low temperature catalytic cracking can be achieved by sequential reaction consisting of dehydrogenation of paraffin to olefin over noble metal and cracking of olefin over solid acid. In this presentation, we performed n-hexane cracking over Rh loaded ZSM-5 bifunctional catalyst to investigate the effect of the catalyst structure on catalytic performance.
